I must get photoshop some day!

I want to do one for my fave quote:

"I contend we are both atheists, I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."
...Stephen F Roberts


What imagery? Maybe a grid of a bunch of "old" gods and "other" gods (like Hindu deities) with the Abrahamic God at the end (lower right corner) All but the Abrahamic god has a red circle with a line thru it superimposed on it.


(This reads like a memo from the art director for the display dept. of the huge store I used to work for)

Starting out there was always a clear winner for me. Now I am always having to consider two or three.

...not limiting my selections to just those posted st Atheist Meme Base in the previous week (ever since AMB's demise)

I now just search google images for my selections for the most part.

I am glad everyone seems to enjoy the polls.

I don't expect special preference, there's just some pretty hilarious or poignant ones that I think others would like to see, but I don't want to take away your awesome weekly polls. I posted a few that I felt were below the standard you usually hold the poll to earlier last week, which is why I posted them...figured I wouldn't be stepping on your toes

Keep up the great work, and thanks for your hard work doing this!

... just go ahead and post them.

If you enjoy them, please share.

For my part, I tend to avoid facebook.

Sure, it can be a fun tool for friends and family, but not everyone you meet falls into those neat and tidy classes, and I have very little need to share my day to day thoughts and my daily minutia with the whole world.

So for now, I will limit my postings to the few notes and comments I post here on du, and maybe I will eventually join the party on facebook.

Thank

These are all good. Went with the Sober one in the end. I just wish it would have said "the fact that a drunken man is a better dancer than a sober one" instead....because I just know that I am a great dancer when I am drunk. Well, until I fall.

you are the expert here.

the other day more than 2 thoughts crossed my mind. it was more confusing than trying to find true meaning in a bible - leaving the memes to you suits me fine!

But I went with the Iceberg. It says so much with just one stark graphic and a few words, which I always appreciate. Probably because I often tend to waste so many words on saying so little.

So much evil and harm comes from religion and all the religious talk about is what they want to display above the surface. Well done in that cartoon.
